**S13SilviaGirl** · 03-12-2009, 07:05 AM

here is a tentative schedual:

Spring break of '10

Friday...meet and greet (most likely at speedzone)
Sat....hard parking, raffle, awards
Sun....Track even at willow springs (streets of willow road racing)

SilviaNOW · 03-17-2009, 01:49 PM

When is spring break btw in the states?

ae13bravo · 03-17-2009, 03:22 PM

Usually around April.

Fonix36 · 03-17-2009, 11:05 PM

whos spring break? csu's uc's or cc'c

SUPERSTAR · 03-20-2009, 01:07 PM

Man I can't wait for this to go down.

soon2beSIL80 · 03-20-2009, 01:57 PM

i personally think it should be in the summer just because not all universities go on SB at the same time, and seeing as its aimed to be a national event, summer might work better since students can just plan on taking the summer semester off. I dunno, just me maybe.

SaskS14 · 03-20-2009, 03:41 PM

Something else to consider is that there are going to be people crossing the Continental divide to get there. It is completely possible for there to be snow storms in the mountains all they way into June. Especially for those heading down from Canada and the Northern States.

Performance tires and the cold don't mix. Add snow to the equation and you have a deadly combination.

Also consider that Canadian 'reading week' (Spring Break) takes place mostly in February. I know from trips in the past that schools from Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin and other places have their spring break in February as well.

These are good points. I will discuss it with Sam and Kevin. Thank you! This is the feedback that helps us!

This sounds very cool, just not sure if my car will survive the drive.

I don't have a cat, don't believe that its a requirement to have one here. We don't have inspections, and nobody has ever said anything about how it sounds or anything. I've told cops that I don't have one and they don't do anything about it.

Don't worry about it.

Read what I wrote a few posts up.

articdragon192 · 03-22-2009, 12:39 AM

Hmmm, I should get a 240 just for this meet. I don't think the Z will fit in here, lol.

Fonix36 · 03-24-2009, 02:12 AM

^bring it you have my respect.

SilviaNOW · 03-24-2009, 10:32 PM

Yah i would prefer summertime. Because it just snowed in my city. Like absolutely dumped snow yesterday(30cm in less than 12hrs) And im on summertimes. I am 1.5 hrs from the mountains so the mountains would be even worse.

Silly Canadians...nobody cares that you live in a frozen wasteland...it's your own damn fault.

As far as Spring Break goes, late February to early April for most US Colleges. But, one thing to remember...you'll never be able to please everyone, and to attempt that will only lead to insanity. I think the last 2 weeks in March or first week in April will be easiest on college students. No school for me, so I don't care when it is.

Flicktitty · 03-25-2009, 11:09 AM

you just say the date and i'll be sure to be there.

SilviaNOW · 03-25-2009, 01:41 PM

Well everyone usually has summer off? eaither way i dont have school. But i would prefer summertime, my work is slower allowing me more time off.

ericcastro · 03-25-2009, 01:49 PM

It rained the other day here in SoCal too.
And the track was pretty cold last week. (freezing cold in the morning.)

i just think if people are coming to SoCal, summertime is what they want.
Alot of guys will be making this there only big trip for awhile.
So lets make sure to have good sun, and all the Californina summertime things everyone thinks of.

my 2cents

Gnnr · 03-25-2009, 05:10 PM

It's already been decided. Its going to be spring break.

Gas is cheaper then and its not hot as balls...

SaskS14 · 03-25-2009, 05:28 PM

Well the way I look at it if it is going to be held in the spring you might as well just call it the "California 240SX Convention" and drop the 'National' label all together.

Too many potential attendees are in school etc.

PacificDrift_Nick · 03-25-2009, 05:36 PM

what about drifting? just a road race event?

i know it was tentative but im just wondering?

**S13SilviaGirl** · 03-25-2009, 05:42 PM

I have a question....what do you all think of having Pinks cater the event on Saturday? I know they cater if you have a certain amount. They are a CA hotspot and are world famous. Kinda like In & Out. Just in one local. haha.

EVERYTHING under the sun is being discussed...believe me! hahaha. We have a lot of details to go over.

pewpew · 08-27-2009, 04:35 PM

anything i can do from kansas ?!

i would be willing to lead a group from kansas/midwest to so-cal....made the drive several times, and it would be sick for a bunch of people to travel together. its a safe route...little mountain time, and goes just south through skirting the rockies..30 hrs ~

i-70 and i-135 meet in my hometown.... and would go through various major cities in ks, ok, tx, nm, az

im in the army and good at planning/ops, and can bring leadership to the table ( they send us to school for that shit)

lemme know
